About Us

The University of Glasgow at Kelvin Hall is about bringing inspiring people together and creating a world-class environment for collections-based learning, research and skills development.

At the heart of the Scottish Enlightenment 

The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for over 550 years and was at the heart of the Scottish Enlightenment revolution; transforming the world and its inhabitants, through science, social sciences, philosophy and the arts.
